Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor Coming One Week Earlier

October is starting to thin out, as Warner Bros. has announced an earlier release date for Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor. This leaves October 7 now two titles lighter, after Dragon Age: Inquisition was delayed until November.

This is good news for everyone still releasing on October’s first Tuesday (Alien: Isolation from Sega, NBA 2K15 from 2K Sports, and NBA Live 15 from EA, Driveclub from Sony, and Project Spark from Microsoft). For more on Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, check out our preview from E3.

Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor will now be out on September 30 for Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, and PC.

Our TakeThis is good news, even if it’s just a one week shift. October 7 was too heavy, and it’s looking a bit more manageable now. I’m excited for Shadow of Mordor after playing it at E3, and getting it a week early pleases me greatly.
